...Human atherosclerotic plaque contains cells with multiple markers of senescence that associate with disease severity. We characterized the frequency of senescent cTfh cells and genes expressions before and after treatment with Dasatinib in patients with different degrees of stenosis. Twelve high (≥50%), and twelve low (<50%) stenosis patients and six healthy controls were enrolled. The percentage of senescent CD3+CD4+CXCR5+CD153+CD57+ cells was significantly decreased in Dasatinib treated cells from individuals with low and high stenosis (P = 0.0007 and P = 0.0002, respectively). However, the frequency of total lymphocytes, CD3+ and CD4+ T cells were not significantly different between the groups before and after treatment. The expression levels of P53 (P = 0.0003 and P = 0.0001), P16 (P = 0.0005 and P = 0.0002), p21 (P = 0.0002 and P < 0.0001), SENEX (P = 0.0005 and P < 0.0001) and BCL-2 (P = 0.0005 and P = 0.0002) were decreased in PBMCs of low and high stenosis groups after treatment with Dasatinib, respectively. The percentage of senescent cTfh cells positively correlated with cholesterol (P = 0.034; r = 0.671), C-reactive protein (CRP) (P = 0.029; r = 0.707), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels (P = 0.030; r = 0.598) and neutrophil counts (P = 0.021; r = 0.799) in patients with high stenosis. The decreased frequency of senescent cTfh cells and the expression levels of senescence genes after Dasatinib treatment in patients with atherosclerosis suggest a role for Dasatinib in partial clearance or rejuvenation of senescent cTfh cells, which may decrease inflammatory mediators and attenuate disease progression.
